  1. Did a treee used to be around there?
  2. My guy basically laughed at the idea of the first oil change before 100 hours, fwiw.
  3. You know, if the government doesn’t go belly up between now and then. Or if they decide to honor the deal.
  4. Yeah, but he knew how to spin it! ”no one wouldn’t have thought she wasn’t 18. And look at what she was wearing?!?!?”
  5. You're assuming it stays at $60. You're also assuming that if it stays at $60 for an extended period of time, companies won't lay off people. Remember, companies exist to make a profit. Downturns always lead to layoffs. Here's a couple of articles talking about the issue in the past, as well as speculating about these tariffs. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/economy/article/oil-industry-tariffs-opec-decision-layoffs-20258213.php https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Houston-could-lose-thousands-of-jobs-if-oil-fails-15112330.php But that's the oil industry alone. If the Oil industry is just a fraction of the other industries that are going to struggle because of Tariffs, it's a safe assumption there will be a lot of layoffs in lots of industries. Almost like a domino effect. In my original post, I specifically said mass layoffs across multiple industries. Did you think just one thing caused the great depression? Actually I take that back it was basically one thing; tariffs.
  6. Well, unless they jack up the price to make up for the demand with the assumption that those who can pay still will pay. But that's really neither here nor there. The real issue is what happens to everyone, the economy, etc, if this behavior causes mass layoffs across multiple industries and hardship abounds, but you've got cheap as fuck gas, are you really getting ahead? What happened to the price of Oil during the great depression, when the inputs were cheap as fuck (13 cents a barrel, about $5 and a half bucks in today's dollars) and demand was low? Spoiler alert, it was not great. But you're right, technically the gas WAS cheap. So if you don't mind the cost of everything else going apeshit and people being miserable, well, ok I guess?
  7. This isn't a serious post, is it?
  8. Haven't looked at the market since yesterday's close, eh?
  9. 84% retaliatory tariffs by China seems like no biggie, right?
  10. I call this work Dread Harbinger Of A Shitty Day:
  11. To be fair, you also drove a 14 ft RV through a 12 ft clearance underpass and sheared the roof clean off. Let’s say your prognostication is a mixed bag.
  12. Nahlin owns a piece of IT. Liucci probably gets a cut too. But he’s not Geoff Ketchum. He’s Taylor Estes with bigger tits.
  13. Don't forget that Liucci doesn't own Texags. He's a paid employee. He's not even the CEO. It's owned, nominally, by Hunter Goodwin. The CEO is someone named Brandon Jones (not that Brandon Jones, duh, this one is obviously white). https://texags.com/staff While he apparently bought his mom a home in sugarland, there is a reason he lives in a house like this in College Station: Although, to be fair, that might actually be a College Station 8. Fuck if I know.
  14. Guess GRUHorn had to get a new handle.
  15. Imagine using an illustration of dropping a bowling ball onto a car from 20 feet in the air and imagine that there's going to be a barely perceptible dent.
  16. Are they? Movie Theater chains basically make all of their money on concession sales. Studies take most of the box office. Hard to imagine folks shelling out for concessions in a recessionary period. More like smuggling in candy and pruno because we're all poor now. Any word on any margin calls?
  17. Todays futures market doesn’t bode well for you in that regard.
  18. That motherfucker is aging worse then a President.
  19. Please illustrate how the economy, as it stands currently, are not an explicit results of political choice. You’ve already refused to offer your own stock market and purchasing decisions/advice for others. So what the fuck are you doing here? “I’ll never go to the CR because everyone is mean and I can’t defend my own thoughts or actions” is how this reads. Ok, snowflake. For those of you nodding your head to bj Johnson, please know he’s been banned 15+ times and is a Russian troll who literally seems to get paid to shill for Putin.
  20. China has a lot of issues, demographically and economically. But these actions have already driven historic enemies in South Korea and Japan to respond to the US in concert. America has shown itself unreliable. People will look for stable trading partners, and guess what, China will be happy to play that part for the time being. And the manufacturing already exists there. Saying America is expecting power is premature when we haven’t gotten anything yet. But the rest of the world is pissed at us, that’s for sure.
  21. Imagine the state of the economy being what it is, and corporations being uncertain, and foreign money being pissed the fuck off, and thinking that there is going to be a radical investment in American infrastructure and manufacturing plants and capabilities. And now imagine that's true despite the fact that all the entities I mentioned above knows that could all go away in 4 years in the next round of elections. And then just straight up lying to America.
